Image: “Wicked Women” by Psychedelic*Panda. For those of us digital brats who need to be reminded that a “library” is where they keep all the books, radio is something we happily left behind the minute we figured out what files we could lube up and cram down an RSS feed. Yet I’m still an NPR…

Pretty girl Friday
An assortment of free galleries — don’t buy anything, just have a sexy friday, on me. I get these for free and so should you! This week I liked Sandra F by Luca Helios, Dana A and Olya O by Vronin, Helen E by Rylsky; I thought Jennipher’s shoot wasn’t exciting but there’s something intriguing…
Lovely lovely Coco Club
Today, high-end sex toy retail boutique Coco de Mer officially announced their Coco Club, featuring the glorious, gorgeous photo editorials, film collection, blog and much more. If you loved their short erotic film Honey and Bunny (site currently down) as much as I did, you’ll really enjoy their stylish short films. Some are sexually explicit,…
Married, with sex
Image by Helmut Newton, via. As San Francisco prepares for next week’s joyous parade of gleeful brides and grooms to walk down the aisle — and SF’s flower shops lose their minds — it seems only fitting to dedicate this week’s column to sex and marriage. So as I prep to go to City Hall…
BDSM doc trailer
Image by local educators (and really nice guys) Two Knotty Boys. Today I was invited by Ms. Heart to the local Frameline premiere of the documentary BDSM: It’s Not What You Think. Which is an oversimplified title for what looks like a really interesting documentary, and features some people I’ve spoken to classes with (like…
Digita Pub Howto’s
Self-portrait taken today with my Helio Ocean. Part of my goal with Digita Pub is to open source the ebook and audiobook self-publishing process. I have two tutorials coming up, but I’ve started with the Digita Pub FAQ’s to explain how the whole thing works, and what software I use to make the files, distribute…
I think
… that the new Blackberry would totally beat the iPhone in a wet t-shirt contest, tits down. Or rather, tits up. Even though I’m waiting with baited breath for the new Helio Ocean, the Blackberry Bold is the hottest date in town right now. And I have a Nokia N95 for livestreaming. Seriously, Bold. C’mere,…
[Audio] Open Source Sex 63: Erotic Adventures for Couples
Image for Latex Culture via Captive Girls. Phew! Finally! I’m podcasting again! It’s been a while, because my podcast is such a labor of love (read: I don’t get paid to do it, so I do it when I’m not scrambling for freelance gigs). But this one is really useful, and I think couples will…
Zoe Margolis Breaks Up With Britain
Image from my SXSW Sexual Privacy Online panel @ SXSW: Interactive, with Jason Schultz, Zoe Margolis, John D’Addario, Jonathan Moore and myself. Seeing as how I’m soaking in it, I’m fascinated with the constantly changing relationship sex bloggers have with sex and blogging. And through sex blogging, women’s relationship with sex, and humans’ relationship with…
New audiobook! Erotic Role Play: A Guide for Couples
I’m getting really, really proud of my little one-girl, self-publishing operation, Digita Publications. It’s had little press and I’ve just been quietly working with various authors to create and sell inexpensive, DRM-free erotic audio and ebooks. And it’s becoming a cult hit. I get email praise and orders every single day. People love giving their…
